Your job as an executive is to edit, not write. it's ok to write once in a while but if you do it often there's a fundamental problem with the team. every time you do something ask if you're writing or editing and get in the mode of editing.

More From Jack Dorsey

All three parts of filmmaking [writing, shooting, editing] contribute to rhytm. you want the script to be a tight as possible, you want the acting to be as efficient as possible on the set, and you have enough coverage to manipulate the rhythm in the editing room, and then in the editing room you want to find the quickest possible version, even if it's a leisurely paced film. i definitely in filmmaking more and more find writing and directing a means to harvest material for editing. it's all about editing.
Mean Writing Editing
I have a hard time writing. most writers have a hard time writing. i have a harder time than most because i'm lazier than most. [...] the other problem i have is fear of writing. the act of writing puts you in confrontation with yourself, which is why i think writers assiduously avoid writing. [...] not writing is more of a psychological problem than a writing problem. all the time i'm not writing i feel like a criminal. [...] it's horrible to feel felonious every second of the day. especially when it goes on for years. it's much more relaxing actually to work.
Writing Hard Times Thinking
The secret to writing is just to write. write every day. never stop writing. write on every surface you see; write on people on the street. when the cops come to arrest you, write on the cops. write on the police car. write on the judge. i'm in jail forever now, and the prison cell walls are completely covered with my writing, and i keep writing on the writing i wrote. that's my method.

I feel like being an actor it is a great way to do your job and be a parent, because you have a lot of freedom. you have a job and then the job ends and than maybe you don't have another job for a while or maybe you chose not have another job for a while. for an actor, it's like maybe you don't see your kid for two weeks while you are filming but then you might have three months off where you are at home every day and picking him up from school. i find it's a great thing.

There is no sphere in which a human being can be supposed to act where one mode of reasoning will not, in every given instance, be more reasonable than any other mode. that mode the being is bound by every principle of justice to pursue.
Justice Atheism Spheres
With the camera, it's all or nothing. you either get what you're after at once, or what you do has to be worthless. i don't think the essence of photography has the hand in it so much. the essence is done very quietly with a flash of the mind, and with a machine. i think too that photography is editing, editing after the taking. after knowing what to take, you have to do the editing.

For me the printing process is part of the magic of photography. it's that magic that can be exciting, disappointing, rewarding and frustrating all in the same few moments in the darkroom.
